Re: [Dovecot] Postfix, Dovecot, SASL, and Virtual Domains

If you're setting up a new server, I highly recommend looking at the  
HOWTO that Purple Hat has at:

http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4

I did most of what they suggested. I was migrating a host to BSD and  
re-doing my postfix/dovecot infrastructure. It was clear enough that I  
could change just what I needed to.

If you are starting from scratch, just set it up the way they say to.

[Dovecot] Stupid question: Need to increase some connection limits

2008-09-22 Thread Jon Callas
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

When I switch from one network to another, I sometimes get dovecot  
rejecting my connections.

The error I get in the log is similar to:

   Sep 22 15:23:22 hostname dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number
   of connections from user+IP exceeded: user=user, method=METHOD,
   rip=1.2.3.4, lip=5.6.7.8

So the question is what parameter increases that? My five minutes of  
looking has failed me.

Re: [Dovecot] Integrating Dovecot SASL into Postfix

 - Running Linux OS Ubuntu 7.04
 - Currently running Postfix version 2.3.8
 - No virtual users or domains . Every system user has a mail account  
 (to
 create a new mail account i have to create a new system user. I  
 belive this
 is called PAM, right?).

Just follow the directions in the HOWTOs.

Just so you know, I used to do this on my server running Mac OS X with  
Postfix 2.3 and Dovecot 1.0.7. Last weekend, I upgraded my server to a  
new machine running FreeBSD, Postfix 2.5, and Dovecot 1.0.x and then  
1.1. My config files moved over with no hitches. The Dovecot upgrade  
required me to change one parameter name in the config file, but once  
I found that on the wiki, it was all flawless.

I would be more informative if I'd ever done it on Linux.

 Try if dotlock_use_excl=yes helps. That setting was made to fix hard

Is this a setting in dovecot.conf?

I'm using all the defaults, there, myself.

Re: [Dovecot] LSUB vs LIST (hacked Apple Mail problem)

2007-04-26 Thread Jon Callas

I'm using Apple Mail to Dovecot and have no real issues with IMAP to  
Dovecot. Certainly not as many as others. I'm also doing IMAP to  
Exchange and to Communigate Pro, and Exchange sucks royally, but  
Dovecot and CGP work fine.

At work, we do IMAP proxying for crypto, and let me tell you we know  
lots about the idiocies in every client there is. Mail.app has had  
some major revisions in some of the point releases of 10.4, so what  
you thought six months ago isn't necessarily so now.

Every IMAP client we know of (and we've seen them all) does crazy  
things. It's really an IMAP problem that there are several ways to do  
anything. Thunderbird has its own idiosyncrasies, as does Mulberry  
and anything else.
